TotalFreedom Wiki:Todo

As the wiki is currently still being built, this is a list of things that need to be done. It ranges from documenting certain historical events to setting up guidelines to enforce in all pages.

Policies

A series of guidelines and editing policies needs to be set up and fleshed out. Good ideas for policies include:

• Required neutrality in articles
  The primary goal of the wiki is to document the community and its platforms in a completely neutral manner. Articles should always have a neutral stance on events that occurred or members of the community. For example, opinions should not be included in articles about historical events. No exceptions.

• Conflict of interest policies
  Articles created or modified by people with a direct connection (and thus could be biased) to the subject matter should have a notice explaining the conflict of interest and how it could influence the article's wording.

• Grammar policy
  Rejecting articles with poor grammar. This could be hard to enforce but anyone who consistently writes low quality content could be warned or blocked from editing the wiki.

Technical side of things

We could use some features that a lot of other wikis have.

• Template and module documentation
  Documentation is key for them to be used how they were intended. A lot of these could probably be easily imported from Wikipedia.
• Automatic skin renderer
  Crafatar, the service we use to render player skins, is open source on GitHub and available as a Docker image. We could use this to write a wiki bot that automatically retrieves the latest (or last known) skin belonging to someone, renders it, and then automatically uploads it when a page is made about them. This would be handy, because then we wouldn't have to manually render the skins and upload them ourselves every time we make a page about someone.

Wiki

A lot still needs to be documented.
